Norah May Healy 1890

Norah May Healy 1890

My great grandfather was Henry Edward Smith and his parents were Francis Harriet Walton and Jesse Smith.

On the 1891 census he is living at home with his grandfather Edward Walton (although he is listed as his son in error) and Norah Healy is just 1 yr old- his cousin. We have 2 postcards possibly written by her and she obviously in touch with my great grandfather after he married and she talks about the children- my grandfather.

I am struggling to establish the link between the Healy family and Smith/Waltons.

I believe from research, Norah's parents were Thomas Alexander and Florence Helena. Thomas was an actor/comedian and whilst they have severl children born in Liverpool, also one was born in York and another possibly Devon.

I cannot find any record where the parents were living with the children.

In 1901 Norah is still living in Birmingham with my great grandfather and in 1911 she is in London with her aunt Clara Walton and her brother Claude.

Claude in 1901 is living in Everton as a boarder.

I am struggling to also find a marriage for Thomas and Florence which I beleive would be around the early 1880s- assuming they married. They had several children which were all baptised.
